Critically Acclaimed one-man show Any1Man returns to New York City!

March 2008- After 5 Before 9 Productions is proud to announce the New York revival of the critically acclaimed one-man show Any1Man, starring George A Peters, II. The show, which has sold-out theaters in Philadelphia, Washington D.C. and Dallas, will play March 24-27 at the 13th Street Repertory Company at 7 pm. Through the lives of different men, this one-man show dissects society’s definitions of masculinity and gives a peek into the lives and hardships of Black men.

Written, directed and produced by alumni of Morehouse College, Any1man was inspired by the issues facing Black men today. As the achievement gap between Black men and women continues to widen, Any1man presents a portrait painted with the brush strokes of six men and examines their fears, dreams and hang-ups as they tackle life, love and adversity.

“Black Men face a unique set of challenges in America today,” commented future Democratic nominee for president, Senator Barack Obama, “Any1man is engaging in difficult issues head on.”

“It is indeed a great pleasure to support and be a fan of this great performance,” said Dwayne Crawford, Chief Operating Officer, 100 Black Men of America. “It is one of the rare opportunities for the public to see and hear the multiple faces of the men of African Descent.”

The show is personal. It is as close to a one on one conversation as theater will allow. You will feel like you are on stage, and if you don't find yourself "on stage" you will feel like the men of Any1Man have come off the stage and into the aisles.

General Admission tickets will be sold for $15 and are available online at www.13thstreetrep.org. Any1Man is a show for all ages.
